it's disappointing that this was pulled, as i think it was a great shot. hopefully many others would feel the same way. one thing to keep in mind is that, from what i see, only 21 votes were cast at the time you withdrew this submission. from a quick look at the statistics for the challenge, an average of 230 votes were cast per submission (70295/305), so the average of 5 you mention was after less than 10% of the expected votes. a cynic would even say that the trolls are often the first to vote... regardless, in my limited time in this community i've noticed that the average score increases after the first ~12 hours. i wish i could have seen where this ended up. don't give up... the photo, and you, deserve better!
